Ocean Race

The Ocean Race is a renowned sailing race around the world, recognized as one of the toughest team tests in professional sports. While not directly involved in space activities, the race organizers partner with companies like CLS to utilize high-resolution satellite data for iceberg detection, ensuring the safety of competitors in treacherous areas such as the Southern Ocean. This involves defining exclusion zones based on iceberg movements, demonstrating a unique application of space technology in support of a major sporting event. The Ocean Race highlights the intersection of extreme sports, maritime safety, and space-based monitoring.
